Hi nationnon,<br />
<br />
Is your application a Win32 console? If so then you can use<br />
<br />
#include &lt;iostream.h&gt;<br />
#include &lt;conio.h&gt;<br />
....<br />
char c;<br />
<br />
cout.flush();<br />
cout &lt;&lt;&nbsp;&quot;Press any key to continue...&quot;;<br />
c = getch(); &nbsp; &nbsp;// waits here<br />
....<br />
<br />
to wait until user's response.<br />

Hi nationnon,

Is your application a Win32 console? If so then you can use

#include <iostream.h>
#include <conio.h>
....
char c;

cout.flush();
cout << "Press any key to continue...";
c = getch();    // waits here
....

to wait until user's response.

<div>
if it is console mode, then run it from a command prompt window.<br />
<br />
Alterntaively, make it into a simple dialog (or SDI app with edit view) and have it write to a multi-line edit box that the user can scroll through to view the results and then close when they've seen enough.<br />

I'm have a little problem keeping my output to stay up when it calculates the answer. &nbsp;It doesn't ask you to hit a key to exit or nothing. &nbsp;It just shuts off. &nbsp;It works fine when I execute in visual c++ but when I send the program out with it's own exe it doesn't. &nbsp;Can't I create a function that will cut it off in 5 seconds? &nbsp;Or atleast ask the user to hit a key to continue?

keeping the info up with a function

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
